Is it one you're thinking of buying?

I think from memory there has been one with that kind of mileage popping up at different dealers over time, and last time with a considerable price jump. Something like £40k or more.

Have to say, great cars. I've had mine for 2 years, and it's just over 39k miles. Didn't purchase for an investment, but existing (and hoping) that the value will roughly stay at what I paid.

Are we sure there not one of the same cars? seen strange to have a 22 and a 32 miles GP out there?
As said the one with 32 miles has done the rounds if one was to buy it you could not drive it as it mould be money down the drain.!

Not very imo.

The one referred to was 20k now is 48k

Nice to own but if you fit the intercooler from one to a Cooper S with the same tuning kit which you can still buy, and fit the brakes from an R56 Cooper S, you already have the same power and better brakes for a fraction of the cost, and rear seats haha. The GP2 may be a better long term win.

GP1's are about for way less, and even with miles, they're going to take another ten years to become of proper interest, and then some will be in better nick than others with similar values, the trouble in part was that known proven modifications were already around for the standard car before it was released,

Many are tracked, or modified which isn't always a bad thing, mine is a better spec black S, modified to ~270hp but not done on the cheap, many really are though, so maybe a nice one that is so unused is re-assuring in that regard,

Just been looking for a purchase next year to add to the cars we have, they dont seem to have moved up or down in price in that last few years?

Was hoping for some fairly cost free motoring
